Selling chocolates is so much worse though. That always creeped me out because it’s either A) kids learning how to hawk wares on the street outside of stores, B) kids learning how to be door-to-door cold cal solicitors or C) run a MLM pyramid scheme by convincing their parents to push their product at work. Maybe even D) a combination of all of those for the ultimate street hustler training.
Comment on A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US
dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoNo, that’s still idiotic. It doesn’t matter what the context is of why a child is working at a fast food restaurant. There’s a child working at a fast food restaurant. This isn’t selling chocolates to raise money for a class hamster.

Honestly, I would err on the side of caution anyway. The worst that can happen is minor embarrassment that came from good intentions.

Being intent on remaining outraged is idiotic. Spending a few hours doing a handful of minor tasks at a fast food restaurant for fun is worlds apart from being required to labor for day after day for a pay check.

That’s why we need to have ubi for everyone, even these kids. Then they will just have money to spend on their dance clubs and stuff without having to work for it.
